近期天气预测显示,未来两周气温将持续走高,全美供暖需求料将低于预期,利空天然气价格。据路透报道,周五中场交易时段,由于美国天然气期货价格下跌2.2%,天然气生产商NextDecade Corporation(股票代码:NEXT)等天然气相关上市公司纷纷受到重挫,NEXT股价盘中一度大跌5.03%。
就在上周,NEXT公司刚刚宣布在得克萨斯州圣帕特里夏湾建造首个液化天然气出口项目,被市场视为加大在美国天然气产业版图的重要一步。不过,由于近期天气转暖,供暖需求的下滑令天然气价格承压,NEXT等公司的股价亦无法独善其身,在周五盘中出现了大幅下跌走势。
分析人士指出,尽管目前股价有所回调,但只要未来气温持续走高,天然气企业的营收仍将面临下行压力。对于NEXT这样的新兴天然气生产商来说,注重成本控制、提高运营效率将至关重要,如此才能在天然气价格低迷周期里渡过难关,实现长期发展。
